Invisible History: Hidden Markov Model of Old Kingdom Administration Development and its Trends

Original language description

By focusing on the development of the administration and its changes and turning points during the Old Kingdom period, this contribution proposes a dynamic model of bureaucratic evolution at that time punctuated by several ground-breaking changes which can be viewed as adaptations to the social dynamics. Endeavouring to find a way and method of visualizing this major observation, we focus on the stratified vizieral titulary, since it was directly related to the society’s development and reflected all major shifts and modifications. The Hidden Markov Model method has been adjusted in a way that enables its robust application to a limited volume of input data. As a consequence, its results make it possible to quantify the development of the administration structure in ancient Egypt. The numerical results are interpreted and compared to the state-of-art knowledge in Egyptology. In particular, several landmarks matching the perspective of the `punctuated equilibrium’ theory are discussed.
